Can not live apart from your smartphone? Do you feel that the world ends when you do not have it close? Although it helps us to communicate and make our lives easier, there are some damages to the health of the smartphone.

According to the study "Habits of Internet users in Mexico 2013 ", of the Mexican Internet Association (Amipci), the number of smartphones in the country doubled, but what damage does it cause?

Excessive use affects your physical and mental well-being!

The excessive use of smartphones negatively impacts your physical and mental well-being, for example:

1. Hearing. When you listen to your favorite music on this device at a high volume, you run the risk of damaging your inner ear, which is responsible for converting sounds into signals that go to the brain.
2. Claw hand. Have you felt pain or cramps in your wrist or fingers? Then you run the risk of developing the so-called "claw hand" caused by the excessive writing on the smartphone or spending a lot of time playing with it. If you do not control yourself you can develop tendonitis.
3. Small levels of radiation. According to the World Health Organization , the excessive use of the cell phone exposes you to a small radiation that can develop cancer cells in people.
4. Phantom vibration syndrome. It is an imaginary feeling that the cell phone is vibrating. It is generated by excessive use of the cell phone.
5. High exposure to germs and bacteria. It is an excellent vehicle for this type of parasites that cause gastrointestinal diseases.
6. Neck Pain. Excessive writing can generate muscle pain in the neck, shoulders and head.
7. Abstinence syndrome. If you decide to use less cell phone or do it at once, you can cause emotional damage and trigger this type of syndrome, so you can experience anxiety and isolation.

In addition, another one of the damages of the smartphone to the health is a poor quality of sleep, because the light of this device suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that favors a good rest. And you, do you identify with any of these smartphone damages?
